Summary

Sonoraville High School is a public high school located in Calhoun, Georgia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,130 students. The school is part of the Gordon County School District, which is ranked 77th out of 206 districts in Georgia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of Sonoraville High School's key strengths is its consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 84.4% to 97.4% over the past few years, outperforming the state average. However, the school's performance on the Milestones Assessments is mixed, with the school outperforming the Gordon County and Georgia averages in some subjects like Algebra I and United States History, but lagging behind in others like American Literature and Composition and Biology. Additionally, Sonoraville High School has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 49.39% to 64.42% over the past few years, suggesting a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students compared to some nearby schools.

When compared to nearby schools, Sonoraville High School performs better than Gordon Central High School in most academic metrics, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Cartersville High School and Model High. The school's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio compared to some nearby schools indicate a focus on providing more resources and smaller class sizes, which can potentially contribute to improved student outcomes.
